Strictly Come Dancing contestant Kaye Adams has teased that her family have been banned from coming to see her in the dance studio for the BBC show in case they put her off.
The TV presenter, 59, is best known for being a panelist on Loose Women. She'll however show off her dancing ability on the new series of the popular dance competition.
It is set to launch later this week ahead of the first live show on Saturday night. Rehearsals have been underway for some time ahead of the contestants' debut routines.
Kaye has teased that her family are banned from the dance studio in case they put her off, though she has said they aren't bothered. She said: "They're quite happy with that."
She's in a relationship with long-term partner Ian Campbell. Kaye and her partner, who's a tennis coach, have two daughters together; Charley, 20, and Bonnie, 16.
Kaye said she separates work and family. Discussing keeping her family away from the dance studio, she said: "There's quite a clear separation between my work and my family."
And she suggested that the fact the family live in Glasgow would make it difficult anyway. She commented about such: "It's expensive to come from Scotland!"
